Abstract

Introduction: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) has a negative impact on the health-related quality of life (HRQoL) of affected women. There are no studies conducted on HRQoL of women with PCOS in Sri Lanka, partly due to non-availability of a disease-specific validated tool. Objectives: To translate and evaluate the validity and reliability of the modified polycystic ovary syndrome health-related quality of life questionnaire (M - PCOSQ) among Sri Lankan women with PCOS Methods: The M-PCOSQ was translated into Sinhala language and content and consensual validity was assessed using modified Delphi process. The Short Form Health Survey (SF-36) Sinhala version and translated M-PCOSQ were completed by 94 participants attending three different clinics at a maternity hospital in Sri Lanka. Convergent validity was measured using SF-36 while divergent validity was not measured due to the absence of a suitable tool. Ethical issues were adequately addressed. Retest was done in 10% of the sample two weeks later. Results: With the modified Delphi process, items 4, 10 and 27 of M-PCOSQ Sinhala version were stated as positive statements and scoring changed accordingly. The mean age of the sample was 27.13 years and the majority (77.1% had no children). All six domains of M-PCOSQ had high intra-class correlation coefficients ranging from 0.97 to 0.99 demonstrating excellent test-retest reliability. Cronbach's alpha was 0.67 or more for four of the six domains indicating satisfactory internal consistency. Construct validity was observed by the high correlation between emotion subscale of M-PCOSQ and emotional well-being scale of SF-36 (r=0.63; p<0.01). Conclusions and Recommendations: M-PCOSQ-Sinhala version is a valid and reliable tool to measure HRQoL of PCOS women.
多囊卵巢综合征妇女健康相关生活质量问卷:僧伽罗语翻译与验证研究
简介:多囊卵巢综合征(PCOS)对受影响妇女的健康相关生活质量(HRQoL)有负面影响。斯里兰卡没有对多囊卵巢综合征妇女的HRQoL进行研究,部分原因是缺乏针对疾病的有效工具。目的:翻译并评价斯里兰卡多囊卵巢综合征(PCOS)妇女健康相关生活质量问卷(M -PCOSQ)的效度和信度。方法:将M-PCOSQ问卷翻译成僧伽罗语,采用改进德尔菲法评估问卷内容和共识效度。简短健康调查(SF-36)僧伽罗语版本和翻译的M-PCOSQ由斯里兰卡一家妇产医院的三个不同诊所的94名参与者完成。使用SF-36测量收敛效度,而由于缺乏合适的工具,未测量发散效度。伦理问题得到充分解决。两周后对10%的样本进行复测。结果:采用改进的德尔菲法,M-PCOSQ僧伽罗语版的第4、10、27项被表述为积极命题,评分也随之改变。样本的平均年龄为27.13岁,大多数(77.1%)无子女。M-PCOSQ的6个域均具有较高的类内相关系数,范围在0.97 ~ 0.99之间,具有良好的重测信度。六个领域中的四个领域的Cronbach's alpha值为0.67或更高,表明内部一致性令人满意。M-PCOSQ情绪分量表与SF-36情绪幸福感量表高度相关(r=0.63;p < 0.01)。结论与建议:M-PCOSQ-Sinhala版是测量PCOS妇女HRQoL的有效、可靠的工具。
